The objective of this project is to improve the governance of the site and identify the actions to be taken. The implementation of SAGE involves three stages: preparation, assessment, and action follow-up. All stakeholders involved in the site's governance will be evaluated. This phase includes conducting individual surveys or focus groups with stakeholders to gather as much information as possible. The results of this assessment will help identify actions related to the site's governance. These actions will be prioritized in the short term and will lead to the development of an annual work plan for the site.

Furthermore, SAGE is practiced in 30 countries worldwide. For Madagasikara Voakajy, it has been implemented in two of our intervention sites, starting with Morondava last year. The implementation of SAGE for each site takes a year and a half.

Thanks to funding from the Darwin Initiative through the International Institute for Environment and Development, our sites will benefit from this project.

This initiative aims to strengthen the participation of local communities and stakeholders in decision-making, thereby ensuring more equitable and sustainable management of natural resources. The SAGE project presents a unique opportunity to deeply analyze local dynamics, identify gaps, and propose solutions tailored to the realities on the ground. Through this process, we hope not only to improve the site's governance but also to enhance the resilience of communities in the face of environmental and social challenges.
